Something to think about... Cruz/Cody

Came across this article on Fight Science. I have given Cody some shit for his necktat, but I didn't really think it actually mattered...

“Tattoos have many functions in society, whether you are talking about religion, culture, methodology, “gangland status,” or just something as simple as aesthetics. They can be used to show hierarchy among civilizations, tribes, or gangs. They can also be a way of expressing ones self, to show the world what you feel or believe. However, the impact of tattoos on ones physical self is something that is often overlooked. There is a price to pay when you decide to get yourself “inked up,” and this price is often overlooked. We here at Fight Science have done the research, and the results are quite surprising. While tattoos normally have little to no effect on the inner workings of the human body, there is one place in particular that red flags have popped up over and over again. The area in question is the neck. As we all know, the neck is a very sensitive area in all mammals. Any sort of damage or disfiguration to the neck can have major side effects. Until recent years, the neck has been an area where tattoos have been avoided, so naturally, the study of neck tattoos has been ignored. However, within the last decade, there has been an influx in neck tattoos, which has caused somewhat of a panic in the scientific/medical communities. To put the big question in simple terms, “Do neck tattoos have any adverse health reactions?” Well, the simple answer, is, yes they do. There are cells and capillary systems in the skin and muscle of the neck that are directly tied to the spine, and when these systems are mutilated, the flow of blood that is necessary to reach the brain/heart/lungs/spine and other major areas is severely compromised. If the tattoo is applied with great precision, it is probable that these problems will not incur. However, if the tattoo to the neck is applied with anything other than the utmost vigilance to the safety of the patient, it is almost a forgone conclusion that there will be health consequences to those that have received a neck tattoo.”

Ha! You just gave a scientific proof that we'll win our bet. Good man.

People who have a tattoo or more, are weak minded attention seekers. The more the worse they are.

I have Tattoo's and I am very much as introvert who doesn't like attention , to me my Tattoo's are there as a reminder/expression of things that represent me or who I am striving to be and not really for anyone else but myself all can be hidden with cloths and i don't take my shirt/pants off in public .

considering that the skin is the biggest organ of human body
it would be not dumb to avoid any damage at all
just think about how much accupuncture can affect health...
how much wrong could be done with piercings and tats when hitting nerves on wrong spots
